Hi Jock,Sorry mate I cant recall the bridge you are referring to,the only one of that description I can think of crossed the Levern from a field at Prestwick Street to the Red Hills.I remember it being a bit hairy when it was windy.Crossing on your ar** was the safest way,but you got a roasting from your mates!!!!
Hi Mr U & All
If it was there i thought you may remember it.
OK this is gonna have to wait till i get up the road, Could be my memories are a bit muddled.
If you look at the Map i put up to show the Tram bridge you can see there was another track that went behind the farm and seemed to cross the burn at an angle and on to the clay works area.
This is also visible on the aerial photo of Darnley.
I can still picture the wall upstream on the west side of the burn, it was drywall not brick with a pebble bank at the bottom.

hi jock i remember the bridges you mean there in the woods further up closer to the dams.if you follow the river heading back down from the dams they where about 300 yards down one was about 10 or 12 feet. the brick wall supports had had griffiti on it pink floyd in white paint. there was a smaller bridge further down and inbetween them there was a large steel object thatlooked like the chimmney of an old steam train but was actually an overflow pipe from the dams thats why the bridge was so high incase they had to use it dont think they ever did though. so jock does that sound like the bridges you remember
Hi ardee
The area i think i remember is defiantly behind Darnley farm.
I have already told the wife,
I'm taking here out for the day next time we get up the road
stumbled across this by accident but enjoyed the stories and pics i was brought up in priesthill from 1972-1995 supprised no mention of "auldy" was always some grafiti by him around the dams lol
take me back to the days of glue sniffers and mods

Welcome to Urban Glasgow Jamstaruk
Let us know more about your memories. _________________ I had a dream today
Took a trip to the dams today with my son and took a doner through the woods..While i was there i came across an old bridge that Jock mentioned a while back regarding a ruin on the other side.Didn't cross it but took a piccie to put Jocks mind at rest that there is a bridge somewhere between the Old Waulkmill house ruin and the dam...

Hi johnmc
That one bridge i had a memory of, I plan to have a good wander round the Darnley house to dams area when i come up to visit.
There's a few things i want to see again in that area. I will be interested to see what has changed in 30 odd years.
